Definitions

  • the invention relates to substituted urea derivatives, particularly to chemical entities that selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, and specifically to chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment for heart disease.
  • the "sarcomere” is an elegantly organized cellular structure found in cardiac and skeletal muscle made up of interdigitating thin and thick filaments; it comprises nearly 60% of cardiac cell volume.
  • the thick filaments are composed of "myosin,” the protein responsible for transducing chemical energy (ATP hydrolysis) into force and directed movement. Myosin and its functionally related cousins are called motor proteins.
  • the thin filaments are composed of a complex of proteins.
  • actin a filamentous polymer
  • actin a filamentous polymer
  • the substrate upon which myosin pulls during force generation is the substrate upon which myosin pulls during force generation.
  • actin a set of regulatory proteins, the “troponin complex” and “tropomyosin,” which make the actin-myosin interaction dependent on changes in intracellular Ca levels.
  • Myosin is the most extensively studied of all the motor proteins. Of the thirteen distinct classes of myosin in human cells, the myosin-II class is responsible for contraction of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. This class of myosin is significantly different in amino acid composition and in overall structure from myosin in the other twelve distinct classes.
  • Myosin-II consists of two globular head domains linked together by a long alpha-helical coiled-coiled tail that assembles with other myosin-IIs to form the core of the sarcomere's thick filament. The globular heads have a catalytic domain where the actin binding and ATP functions of myosin take place.
  • Mammalian heart muscle consists of two forms of cardiac myosin, alpha and beta, and they are well characterized.
  • the beta form is the predominant form (> 90 percent) in adult human cardiac muscle. Both have been observed to be regulated in human heart failure conditions at both transcriptional and translational levels, with the alpha form being down-regulated in heart failure.
  • cardiac alpha and beta myosins are very similar (93% identity), they are both considerably different from human smooth muscle (42% identity) and more closely related to skeletal myosins (80% identity).
  • cardiac muscle myosins are incredibly conserved across mammalian species.
  • alpha and beta cardiac myosins are > 96% conserved between humans and rats, and the available 250-residue sequence of porcine cardiac beta myosin is 100% conserved with the corresponding human cardiac beta myosin sequence.
  • sequence conservation contributes to the predictability of studying myosin based therapeutics in animal based models of heart failure.
  • the components of the cardiac sarcomere present targets for the treatment of heart failure, for example by increasing contractility or facilitating complete relaxation to modulate systolic and diastolic function, respectively.
  • CHF Congestive heart failure
  • systolic dysfunction an impairment of cardiac contractility (with a consequent reduction in the amount of blood ejected with each heartbeat).
  • systolic dysfunction with compensatory dilation of the ventricular cavities results in the most common form of heart failure, "dilated cardiomyopathy,” which is often considered to be one in the same as CHF.
  • the counterpoint to systolic dysfunction is diastolic dysfunction, an impairment of the ability to fill the ventricles with blood, which can also result in heart failure even with preserved left ventricular function.
  • Congestive heart failure is ultimately associated with improper function of the cardiac myocyte itself, involving a decrease in its ability to contract and relax.
  • Many of the same underlying conditions can give rise to systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, viral infection, valvular dysfunction, and genetic disorders. Patients with these conditions typically present with the same classical symptoms: shortness of breath, edema and overwhelming fatigue.
  • ischemic heart disease due to coronary atherosclerosis. These patients have had either a single myocardial infarction or multiple myocardial infarctions; here, the consequent scarring and remodeling results in the development of a dilated and hypocontractile heart. At times the causative agent cannot be identified, so the disease is referred to as "idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.” Irrespective of ischemic or other origin, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy share an abysmal prognosis, excessive morbidity and high mortality. ⁇
  • Acute congestive heart failure also known as acute "decompensated” heart failure
  • a new myocardial infarction, discontinuation of medications, and dietary indiscretions may all lead to accumulation of edema fluid and metabolic insufficiency even in the resting state.
  • a therapeutic agent that increases cardiac function during such an acute episode could assist in relieving this metabolic insufficiency and speeding the removal of edema, facilitating the return to the more stable "compensated" congestive heart failure state.
  • Patients with very advanced congestive heart failure particularly those at the end stage of the disease also could benefit from a therapeutic agent that increases cardiac function, for example, for stabilization while waiting for a heart transplant.
  • Other potential benefits could be provided to patients coming off a bypass pump, for example, by administration of an agent that assists the stopped or slowed heart in resuming normal function.
  • Patients who have diastolic dysfunction could benefit from a therapeutic agent that modulates relaxation.
  • Inotropes are drugs that increase the contractile ability of the heart. As a group, all current inotropes have failed to meet the gold standard for heart failure therapy, i.e., to prolong patient survival, hi addition, current agents are poorly selective for cardiac tissue, in part leading to recognized adverse effects that limit their use. Despite this fact, intravenous inotropes continue to be widely used in acute heart failure (e.g., to allow for reinstitution of oral medications or to bridge patients to heart transplantation) whereas in chronic heart failure, orally given digoxin is used as an inotrope to relieve patient symptoms, improve the quality of life, and reduce hospital admissions.
  • the selectivity of agents directed at the cardiac sarcomere has been identified as an important means to achieve this improved therapeutic index.
  • the present invention provides such agents (particularly sarcomere activating agents) and methods for their identification and use.
  • Another approach may be to directly activate cardiac myosin without changing the calcium transient to improving cardiac contractility.
  • the present invention provides such agents (particularly myosin activating agents) and methods for their identification and use.

  • ATP hydrolysis is employed by myosin in the sarcomere to produce force.
  • an increase in ATP hydrolysis would correspond to an increase in the force or velocity of muscle contraction.
  • myosin ATPase activity is stimulated >100 fold.
  • ATP hydrolysis not only measures myosin enzymatic activity but also its interaction with the actin filament.
  • a compound that modulates the cardiac sarcomere can be identified by an increase or decrease in the rate of ATP hydrolysis by myosin, in certain embodiments, exhibiting a 1.4 fold increase at concentrations less than 10 ⁇ JVI (such as less than 1 ⁇ M)- Assays for such activity can employ myosin from a human source, although myosin from other organisms is usually used.
  • a biochemically functional sarcomere preparation can be used to determine in vitro ATPase activity, for example, as described in U.S. Serial Number 09/539,164, filed March 29, 2000.
  • the functional biochemical behavior of the sarcomere including calcium sensitivity of ATPase hydrolysis, can be reconstituted by combining its purified individual components (particularly including its regulatory components and myosin).
  • Another functional preparation is the in vitro motility assay. It can be performed by adding test compound to a myosin-bound slide and observing the velocity of actin filaments sliding over the myosin covered glass surface (Kron SJ. (1991) Methods Enzymol. 196:399- 416).
  • the in vitro rate of ATP hydrolysis correlates to myosin potentiating activity, which can be determined by monitoring the production of either ADP or phosphate, for example as described in Serial No. 09/314,464, filed May 18, 1999.
  • ADP production can also be monitored by coupling the ADP production to NADH oxidation (using the enzymes pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase) and monitoring the NADH level either by absorbance or fluorescence (Greengard, P., Nature 178 (Part 4534): 632-634 (1956); MoI Pharmacol 1970 Jan;6(l):31-40).
  • Phosphate production can be monitored using purine nucleoside phosphorylase to couple phosphate production to the cleavage of a purine analog, which results in either a change in absorbance (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1992 Jun 1;89(11):4884-7) or fluorescence (Biochem J 1990 Mar 1;266(2):611-4). While a single measurement can be employed, generally multiple measurements of the same sample at different times will be taken to determine the absolute rate of the protein activity; such measurements have higher specificity particularly in the presence of test compounds that have similar absorbance or fluorescence properties with those of the enzymatic readout.
  • Test compounds can be assayed in a highly parallel fashion using multiwell plates by placing the compounds either individually in wells or testing them in mixtures. Assay components including the target protein complex, coupling enzymes and substrates, and ATP can then be added to the wells and the absorbance or fluorescence of each well of the plate can be measured with a plate reader.
  • a method uses a 384 well plate format and a 25 ⁇ L reaction volume.
  • a pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase coupled enzyme system (Huang TG and hackney DD. (1994) J Biol Chem 269(23): 16493-16501) is used to measure the rate of ATP hydrolysis in each well.
  • the assay components are added in buffers and reagents. Since the methods outlined herein allow kinetic measurements, incubation periods are optimized to give adequate detection signals over the background. The assay is done in real time giving the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis, which increases the signal to noise ratio of the assay.
  • Modulation of cardiac muscle fiber ATPase and/or contractile force can also be measured using detergent permeabilized cardiac fibers (also referred to as skinned cardiac fibers) or myofibrils (subcellular muscle fragments), for example, as described by Haikala H, et al (1995) J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 25(5):794-801. Skinned cardiac fibers retain their intrinsic sarcomeric organization, but do not retain all aspects of cellular calcium cycling, this model offers two advantages: first, the cellular membrane is not a barrier to compound penetration, and second, calcium concentration is controlled. Therefore, any increase in ATPase or contractile force is a direct measure of the test compound's effect on sarcomeric proteins.
  • ATPase measurements are made using methods as described above. Tension measurements are made by mounting one end of the muscle fiber to a stationary post and the other end to a transducer that can measure force. After stretching the fiber to remove slack, the force transducer records increased tension as the fiber begins to contract. This measurement is called the isometric tension, since the fiber is not allowed to shorten.
  • Activation of the permeabilized muscle fiber is accomplished by placing it in a buffered calcium solution, followed by addition of test compound or control. When tested in this manner, chemical entities described herein caused an increase in force at calcium concentrations associated with physiologic contractile activity, but very little augmentation of force in relaxing buffer at low calcium concentrations or in the absence of calcium (the EGTA data point).
  • Selectivity for the cardiac sarcomere and cardiac myosin can be determined by substituting non-cardiac sarcomere components and myosin in one or more of the above- described assays and comparing the results obtained against those obtained using the cardiac equivalents.
  • a chemical entity's ability to increase observed ATPase rate in an in vitro reconstituted sarcomere assay or myofibril could result from the increased turnover rate of Sl -myosin or, alternatively, increased sensitivity of a decorated actin filament to Ca - activation.
  • the effect of the chemical entity on ATPase activity of Sl with undecorated actin filaments is initially measured. If an increase of activity is observed, the chemical entity's effect on the Ca- responsive regulatory apparatus could be disproved.
  • a second, more sensitive assay can be employed to identify chemical entities whose activating effect on Sl -myosin is enhanced in the presence of a decorated actin (compared to pure actin filaments).
  • activities of cardiac-Si and skeletal-Si on cardiac and skeletal regulated actin filaments are compared.
  • Chemical entities with cellular activity can then be assessed in whole organ models, such as such as the Isolated Heart (Langendorff) model of cardiac function, in vivo using echocardiography or invasive hemodynamic measures, and in animal-based heart failure models, such as the Rat Left Coronary Artery Occlusion model.

Abstract

Certain substituted urea derivatives selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, for example by potentiating cardiac myosin, and are useful in the treatment of systolic heart failure including congestive heart failure.

Description

COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
[0001] The invention relates to substituted urea derivatives, particularly to chemical entities that selectively modulate the cardiac sarcomere, and specifically to chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment for heart disease. [0002] The "sarcomere" is an elegantly organized cellular structure found in cardiac and skeletal muscle made up of interdigitating thin and thick filaments; it comprises nearly 60% of cardiac cell volume. The thick filaments are composed of "myosin," the protein responsible for transducing chemical energy (ATP hydrolysis) into force and directed movement. Myosin and its functionally related cousins are called motor proteins. The thin filaments are composed of a complex of proteins. One of these proteins, "actin" (a filamentous polymer) is the substrate upon which myosin pulls during force generation. Bound to actin are a set of regulatory proteins, the "troponin complex" and "tropomyosin," which make the actin-myosin interaction dependent on changes in intracellular Ca levels. With each heartbeat, Ca + levels rise and fall, initiating cardiac muscle contraction and then cardiac muscle relaxation Each of the components of the sarcomere contributes to its contractile response.
[0003] Myosin is the most extensively studied of all the motor proteins. Of the thirteen distinct classes of myosin in human cells, the myosin-II class is responsible for contraction of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. This class of myosin is significantly different in amino acid composition and in overall structure from myosin in the other twelve distinct classes. Myosin-II consists of two globular head domains linked together by a long alpha-helical coiled-coiled tail that assembles with other myosin-IIs to form the core of the sarcomere's thick filament. The globular heads have a catalytic domain where the actin binding and ATP functions of myosin take place. Once bound to an actin filament, the release of phosphate (cf. ATP to ADP) leads to a change in structural conformation of the catalytic domain that in turn alters the orientation of the light-chain binding lever arm domain that extends from the globular head; this movement is termed the powerstroke. This change in orientation of the myosin head in relationship to actin causes the thick filament of which it is a part to move with respect to the thin actin filament to which it is bound. Un-binding of the globular head from the actin filament (also Ca modulated) coupled with return of the catalytic domain and light chain to their starting conformation/orientation completes the contraction and relaxation cycle.
[0004] Mammalian heart muscle consists of two forms of cardiac myosin, alpha and beta, and they are well characterized. The beta form is the predominant form (> 90 percent) in adult human cardiac muscle. Both have been observed to be regulated in human heart failure conditions at both transcriptional and translational levels, with the alpha form being down-regulated in heart failure.
[0005] The sequences of all of the human skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle myosins have been determined. While the cardiac alpha and beta myosins are very similar (93% identity), they are both considerably different from human smooth muscle (42% identity) and more closely related to skeletal myosins (80% identity). Conveniently, cardiac muscle myosins are incredibly conserved across mammalian species. For example, both alpha and beta cardiac myosins are > 96% conserved between humans and rats, and the available 250-residue sequence of porcine cardiac beta myosin is 100% conserved with the corresponding human cardiac beta myosin sequence. Such sequence conservation contributes to the predictability of studying myosin based therapeutics in animal based models of heart failure.
[0006] The components of the cardiac sarcomere present targets for the treatment of heart failure, for example by increasing contractility or facilitating complete relaxation to modulate systolic and diastolic function, respectively.
[0007] Congestive heart failure ("CHF") is not a specific disease, but rather a constellation of signs and symptoms, all of which are caused by an inability of the heart to adequately respond to exertion by increasing cardiac output. The dominant pathophysiology associated with CHF is systolic dysfunction, an impairment of cardiac contractility (with a consequent reduction in the amount of blood ejected with each heartbeat). Systolic dysfunction with compensatory dilation of the ventricular cavities results in the most common form of heart failure, "dilated cardiomyopathy," which is often considered to be one in the same as CHF. The counterpoint to systolic dysfunction is diastolic dysfunction, an impairment of the ability to fill the ventricles with blood, which can also result in heart failure even with preserved left ventricular function. Congestive heart failure is ultimately associated with improper function of the cardiac myocyte itself, involving a decrease in its ability to contract and relax. [0008] Many of the same underlying conditions can give rise to systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, viral infection, valvular dysfunction, and genetic disorders. Patients with these conditions typically present with the same classical symptoms: shortness of breath, edema and overwhelming fatigue. In approximately half of the patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, the cause of their heart dysfunction is ischemic heart disease due to coronary atherosclerosis. These patients have had either a single myocardial infarction or multiple myocardial infarctions; here, the consequent scarring and remodeling results in the development of a dilated and hypocontractile heart. At times the causative agent cannot be identified, so the disease is referred to as "idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy." Irrespective of ischemic or other origin, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy share an abysmal prognosis, excessive morbidity and high mortality. ■
[0009] The prevalence of CHF has grown to epidemic proportions as the population ages and as cardiologists have become more successful at reducing mortality from ischemic heart disease, the most common prelude to CHF. Roughly 4.6 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with CHF; the incidence of such diagnosis is approaching 10 per 1000 after 65 years of age. Hospitalization for CHF is usually the result of inadequate outpatient therapy. Hospital discharges for CHF rose from 377,000 (in 1979) to 970,000 (in 2002) making CHF the most common discharge diagnosis in people age 65 and over. The five-year mortality from CHF approaches 50%. Hence, while therapies for heart disease have greatly improved and life expectancies have extended over the last several years, new and better therapies continue to be sought, particularly for CHF.
[0010] "Acute" congestive heart failure (also known as acute "decompensated" heart failure) involves a precipitous drop in cardiac function resulting from a variety of causes. For example in a patient who already has congestive heart failure, a new myocardial infarction, discontinuation of medications, and dietary indiscretions may all lead to accumulation of edema fluid and metabolic insufficiency even in the resting state. A therapeutic agent that increases cardiac function during such an acute episode could assist in relieving this metabolic insufficiency and speeding the removal of edema, facilitating the return to the more stable "compensated" congestive heart failure state. Patients with very advanced congestive heart failure particularly those at the end stage of the disease also could benefit from a therapeutic agent that increases cardiac function, for example, for stabilization while waiting for a heart transplant. Other potential benefits could be provided to patients coming off a bypass pump, for example, by administration of an agent that assists the stopped or slowed heart in resuming normal function. Patients who have diastolic dysfunction (insufficient relaxation of the heart muscle) could benefit from a therapeutic agent that modulates relaxation.
[0011] Inotropes are drugs that increase the contractile ability of the heart. As a group, all current inotropes have failed to meet the gold standard for heart failure therapy, i.e., to prolong patient survival, hi addition, current agents are poorly selective for cardiac tissue, in part leading to recognized adverse effects that limit their use. Despite this fact, intravenous inotropes continue to be widely used in acute heart failure (e.g., to allow for reinstitution of oral medications or to bridge patients to heart transplantation) whereas in chronic heart failure, orally given digoxin is used as an inotrope to relieve patient symptoms, improve the quality of life, and reduce hospital admissions.
[0012] Current inotropic therapies improve contractility by increasing the calcium transient via the adenylyl cyclase pathway, or by delaying cAMP degradation through inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE), which can be detrimental to patients with heart failure.
[0013] Given the limitations of current agents, new approaches are needed to improve cardiac function in congestive heart failure. The most recently approved short-term intravenous agent, milrinone, is more than fifteen years old. The only available oral drug, digoxin, is over 200 hundred years old. There remains a great need for agents that exploit new mechanisms of action and may have better outcomes in terms of relief of symptoms, safety, and patient mortality, both short-term and long-term. New agents with an improved therapeutic index over current agents will provide a means to achieve these clinical outcomes.
[0014] The selectivity of agents directed at the cardiac sarcomere (for example, by targeting cardiac beta myosin) has been identified as an important means to achieve this improved therapeutic index. The present invention provides such agents (particularly sarcomere activating agents) and methods for their identification and use. [0015] Another approach may be to directly activate cardiac myosin without changing the calcium transient to improving cardiac contractility. The present invention provides such agents (particularly myosin activating agents) and methods for their identification and use.

[0026] As used in the present specification, the following words and phrases are generally intended to have the meanings as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used indicates otherwise.
[0027] As used herein, when any variable occurs more than one time in a chemical formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence.
[0028] A dash ("-") that is not between two letters or symbols is used to indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, -CONH2 is attached through the carbon atom.
[0029] By "optional" or "optionally" is meant that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, "optionally substituted alkyl" encompasses both "alkyl" and "substituted alkyl" as defined below. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, with respect to any group containing one or more substituents, that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns that are sterically impractical, synthetically non-feasible and/or inherently unstable. [0030] "Alkyl" encompasses straight chain and branched chain having the indicated number of carbon atoms. Alkyl groups generally are those of C20 or below, such as Ci3 or below, for example, C6 or below. For example Ci-C6alkyl encompasses both straight and branched chain alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, 2-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3-hexyl, 3-methylpentyl, and the like. Alkylene is another subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as allcyl, but having two points of attachment. For example, Co alkylene indicates a covalent bond and Ci alkylene is a methylene group. When an alkyl residue having a specific number of carbons is named, all geometric isomers having that number of carbons are intended to be encompassed; thus, for example, "butyl" is meant to include n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and t-butyl; "propyl" includes n-propyl and isopropyl. "Lower alkyl" refers to alkyl groups having one to four carbons.
[0031] "Cycloalkyl" indicates a saturated hydrocarbon ring or fused bicyclic ring, having the specified number of carbon atoms, usually from 3 to 12 ring carbon atoms, more usually 3 to 10, or 3 to 7. Examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl as well as bridged and caged saturated ring groups such as norbornane. Examples of fused bicyclic rings include octahydro-lH-indene, octahydropentalene, l,2,3,3a,4,5-hexahydropentalene, l,2,4,5,6,7,7a-heptahydro-2H-indene, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-indene and the like.
[0032] By "alkoxy" is meant an alkyl group attached through an oxygen bridge such as, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, n-butoxy, sec-butoxy, tert-butoxy, pentoxy, 2-pentyloxy, isopentoxy, neopentoxy, hexoxy, 2-hexoxy, 3-hexoxy, 3- methylpentoxy, and the like. The alkyl group of an alkoxy group generally is of C20 or below, such as Ci3 or below, for example, C6 or below. "Lower alkoxy" refers to alkoxy groups having one to four carbons.
[0033] By "cycloalkoxy" is meant a cycloalkyl group attached through an oxygen bridge such as, for example, cyclopropoxy, cyclobutoxy, cyclopentoxy, cyclohexoxy, cycloheptoxy, and the like. The cycloalkyl group of a cycloalkoxy group generally is of C20 or below, such as Ci3 or below, for example, C6 or below.
[0034] "Acyl" refers to the groups (alkyl)-C(O)-; (cycloalkyl)-C(O)-; (aryl)-C(O)-;
(heteroaryl)-C(O)-; and (heterocycloalkyl)-C(O)-, wherein the group is attached to the parent structure through the carbonyl functionality and wherein alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and heterocycloalkyl are as described herein. Acyl groups have the indicated number of carbon atoms, with the carbon of the keto group being included in the numbered carbon atoms. For example a C2 acyl group is an acetyl group having the formula CH3(C-O)-. [0035] By "alkoxycarbonyl" is meant an ester group of the formula (alkoxy)(C=O)- attached through the carbonyl carbon wherein the alkoxy group has the indicated number of carbon atoms. Thus a Ci-C6alkoxycarbonyl group is an alkoxy group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms attached through its oxygen to a carbonyl linker.
[0036] By "amino" is meant the group -NH2.
[0037] The term "aminocarbonyl" refers to the group -CONRbR°, where
Rb is chosen from hydrogen, optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl, optionally substituted aryl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; and
Rc is chosen from hydrogen and optionally substituted C1-C4 alkyl; or
Rb and Rc taken together with the nitrogen to which they are bound, form an optionally substituted 5- to 7-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycloalkyl which optionally includes 1 or 2 additional heteroatoms selected from O, N, and S in the heterocycloalkyl ring; where each substituted group is independently substituted with one or more substituents independently selected from Ci-C4 alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aryl-Ci-C4 alkyl-, heteroaryl-Ci-C4 alkyl-, C1-C4 haloalkyl, -OCi-C4 alkyl, -OCi-C4 alkylphenyl, - Ci-C4 alkyl-OH, -OCi-C4 haloalkyl, halo, -OH, -NH2, -Ci-C4 alkyl-NH2, -N(Ci-C4 alkyl)(Ci-C4 alkyl), -NH(Ci-C4 alkyl), -N(Ci-C4 alkyl)(Ci-C4 alkylphenyl), -NH(Ci-C4 alkylphenyl), cyano, nitro, oxo (as a substitutent for cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, or heteroaryl), -CO2H, -C(O)OCi-C4 alkyl, -CON(Ci-C4 alkyl)(Ci-C4 alkyl), -CONH(Ci-C4 alkyl), -CONH2, -NHC(O)(Ci-C4 alkyl), -NHC(O)(phenyl), -N(Ci-C4 alkyl)C(O)(Ci-C4 alkyl), -N(Ci-C4 alkyl)C(O)(phenyl), -C(O)Ci-C4 alkyl, -C(O)Ci-C4 phenyl, -C(O)Ci-C4 haloalkyl, -OC(O)Ci-C4 alkyl, -SO2(Ci-C4 alkyl), - SO2(phenyl), -SO2(Ci-C4 haloalkyl), -SO2NH2, -SO2NH(Ci-C4 alkyl), -SO2NH(phenyl), -NHSO2(Ci-C4 alkyl), -NHSO2(phenyl), and -NHSO2(Ci-C4 haloalkyl). [0038] "Aryl" encompasses: 5- and 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic rings, for example, benzene; bicyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, for example, naphthalene, indane, and tetralin; and tricyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, for example, fhiorene.
[0039] For example, aryl includes 5- and 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic rings fused to a 5- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl ring containing 1 or more heteroatoms chosen from N, O, and S. For such fused, bicyclic ring systems wherein only one of the rings is a carbocyclic aromatic ring, the point of attachment maybe at the carbocyclic aromatic ring or the heterocycloalkyl ring. Bivalent radicals formed from substituted benzene derivatives and having the free valences at ring atoms are named as substituted phenyleiie radicals. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent polycyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the carbon atom with the free valence are named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a naphthyl group with two points of attachment is termed naphthylidene. Aryl, however, does not encompass or overlap in any way with heteroaryl, separately defined below. Hence, if one or more carbocyclic aromatic rings is fused with a heterocycloalkyl aromatic ring, the resulting ring system is heteroaryl, not aryl, as defined herein. [0040] The term "aryloxy" refers to the group -O-aryl.
[0041] In the term "arylalkyl" or "aralkyl", aryl and alkyl are as defined herein, and the point of attachment is on the alkyl group. This term encompasses, but is not limited to, benzyl, phenethyl, phenylvinyl, phenylallyl and the like.
[0042] The term "halo" includes fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo, and the term
"halogen" includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
[0043] 'Ηaloalkyl" indicates alkyl as defined above having the specified number of carbon atoms, substituted with 1 or more halogen atoms, generally up to the maximum allowable number of halogen atoms. Examples of haloalkyl include, but are not limited to, trifluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, and penta-fluoroethyl. [0044] "Heteroaryl" encompasses: 5- to 7-membered aromatic, monocyclic rings containing one or more, for example, from 1 to 4, or in certain embodiments, from 1 to 3, heteroatoms chosen from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon; and bicyclic heterocycloalkyl rings containing one or more, for example, from 1 to 4, or in certain embodiments, from 1 to 3, heteroatoms chosen from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon and wherein at least one heteroatom is present in an aromatic ring. [0045] For example, heteroaryl includes a 5- to 7-membered heterocycloalkyl, aromatic ring fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl ring. For such fused, bicyclic heteroaryl ring systems wherein only one of the rings contains one or more heteroatoms, the point of attachment may be at the heteroaromatic ring or the cycloalkyl ring. When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the aromatic heterocycle is not more than 1. Also included within the definition of heteroaryl are oxide derivatives, for example N-oxides of nitrogen containing aryl groups, such as pyridine- 1 -oxide, or >S(O) and >S(O)2 derivatives of sulfur containing groups. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, systems (as numbered from the linkage position assigned priority 1), such as 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2,3-pyrazinyl, 3,4- pyrazinyl, 2,4-ρyrimidinyl, -3,5-pyrimidinyl, 2,3-pyrazolinyl, 2,4-imidazolinyl, isoxazolinyl, oxazolinyl, thiazolinyl, thiadiazolinyl, tetrazolyl, thienyl, benzothiophenyl, furanyl, benzofuranyl, benzoimidazolinyl, indolinyl, pyridizinyl, triazolyl, quinolinyl, pyrazolyl, and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroisoquinoline. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent heteroaryl radicals whose names end in "-yl" by removal of one hydrogen atom from the atom with the free valence are named by adding "-idene" to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a pyridyl group with two points of attachment is a pyridylidene. Heteroaryl does not encompass or overlap with aryl as defined above.
[0046] In the term "heteroarylalkyl" or "heteroaralkyl", heteroaryl and alkyl are as defined herein, and the point of attachment is on the alkyl group. This term encompasses, but is not limited to, pyridylmethyl, thiophenylmethyl, and (pyrrolyl)l -ethyl. [0047] By "heterocycloalkyl" is meant a cycloalkyl residue in which one to four of the carbon atoms are replaced by a heteroatom such as oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. Suitable heterocycloalkyl groups include, for example (as numbered from the linkage position assigned priority 1), 2-pyrrolinyl, 2,4-imidazolidinyl, 2,3-pyrazolidinyl, 2-piperidyl, 3- piperidyl, 4-piperidyl, and 2,5-piperzinyl. Morpholinyl groups are also contemplated, including 2-morpholinyl and 3-morpholinyl (numbered wherein the oxygen is assigned priority 1).
[0048] As used herein, "modulation" refers to a change in myosin or sarcomere activity as a direct or indirect response to the presence of at least one chemical entity described herein, relative to the activity of the myosin or sarcomere in the absence of the compound. The change may be an increase in activity or a decrease in activity, and may be due to the direct interaction of the compound with myosin or the sarcomere, or due to the interaction of the compound with one or more other factors that in turn affect myosin or sarcomere activity.
[0049] The term "sulfanyl" includes the groups: -S-(optionally substituted alkyl),
-S-(optionally substituted aryl), -S-(optionally substituted heteroaryl), and -S-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl). Hence, sulfanyl includes the group Ci-C6 alkylsulfanyl. [0050] The term "sulfmyl" includes the groups: -S(O)-H, -S(O)-(optionally substituted alkyl), -S(O)-optionally substituted aryl), -S(O)-optionally substituted heteroaryl), -S(O)-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl); and -S(O)-(oρtionally substituted amino). [0051] The term "sulfonyl" includes the groups: -S(Ch)-H, -S(O2)-(optionally substituted alkyl), -S(O2)-optionally substituted aryl), -S(O2)-optionally substituted heteroaryl), -S(O2)-(optionally substituted heterocycloallcyl) ,-S(O2)-(optionally substituted alkoxy), -S(O2)-optionally substituted aryloxy), -S(O2)-optionally substituted heteroaryloxy), -S(O2)-(optionally substituted heterocycloalkyloxy); and -S(O2)-(optionally substituted amino).
[0052] The term "substituted", as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. When a substituent is oxo (i.e., =0) then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds or useful synthetic intermediates. A stable compound or stable structure is meant to imply a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation from a reaction mixture, and subsequent formulation as an agent having at least practical utility. Unless otherwise specified, substituents are named into the core structure. For example, it is to be understood that when (cycloalkyl)alkyl is listed as a possible substituent, the point of attachment of this substituent to the core structure is in the alkyl portion.
[0053] The terms "substituted" alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloallcyl, and heteroaryl, unless otherwise expressly defined, refer respectively to alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocycloalkyl, and heteroaryl wherein one or more (up to 5, such as up to 3) hydrogen atoms are replaced by a substituent independently chosen from:

[00138] The chemical entities described herein are selective for and modulate the cardiac sarcomere, and are useful to bind to and/or potentiate the activity of cardiac myosin, increasing the rate at which myosin hydrolyzes ATP. As used in this context, "modulate" means either increasing or decreasing myosin activity, whereas "potentiate" means to increase activity. It has also been determined in testing representative compounds of the invention, that their administration can also increase the contractile force in cardiac muscle fiber. [00139] The chemical entities, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of the invention are used to treat heart disease, including but not limited to: acute (or decompensated) congestive heart failure, and chronic congestive heart failure; particularly diseases associated with systolic heart dysfunction. Additional therapeutic utilities include administration to stabilize cardiac function in patients awaiting a heart transplant, and to assist a stopped or slowed heart in resuming normal function following use of a bypass pump. [00140] ATP hydrolysis is employed by myosin in the sarcomere to produce force.
Therefore, an increase in ATP hydrolysis would correspond to an increase in the force or velocity of muscle contraction. In the presence of actin, myosin ATPase activity is stimulated >100 fold. Thus, ATP hydrolysis not only measures myosin enzymatic activity but also its interaction with the actin filament. A compound that modulates the cardiac sarcomere can be identified by an increase or decrease in the rate of ATP hydrolysis by myosin, in certain embodiments, exhibiting a 1.4 fold increase at concentrations less than 10 μJVI (such as less than 1 μM)- Assays for such activity can employ myosin from a human source, although myosin from other organisms is usually used. Systems that model the regulatory role of calcium in myosin binding to the decorated thin filament are also used. [00141] Alternatively, a biochemically functional sarcomere preparation can be used to determine in vitro ATPase activity, for example, as described in U.S. Serial Number 09/539,164, filed March 29, 2000. The functional biochemical behavior of the sarcomere, including calcium sensitivity of ATPase hydrolysis, can be reconstituted by combining its purified individual components (particularly including its regulatory components and myosin). Another functional preparation is the in vitro motility assay. It can be performed by adding test compound to a myosin-bound slide and observing the velocity of actin filaments sliding over the myosin covered glass surface (Kron SJ. (1991) Methods Enzymol. 196:399- 416).
[00142] The in vitro rate of ATP hydrolysis correlates to myosin potentiating activity, which can be determined by monitoring the production of either ADP or phosphate, for example as described in Serial No. 09/314,464, filed May 18, 1999. ADP production can also be monitored by coupling the ADP production to NADH oxidation (using the enzymes pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase) and monitoring the NADH level either by absorbance or fluorescence (Greengard, P., Nature 178 (Part 4534): 632-634 (1956); MoI Pharmacol 1970 Jan;6(l):31-40). Phosphate production can be monitored using purine nucleoside phosphorylase to couple phosphate production to the cleavage of a purine analog, which results in either a change in absorbance (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1992 Jun 1;89(11):4884-7) or fluorescence (Biochem J 1990 Mar 1;266(2):611-4). While a single measurement can be employed, generally multiple measurements of the same sample at different times will be taken to determine the absolute rate of the protein activity; such measurements have higher specificity particularly in the presence of test compounds that have similar absorbance or fluorescence properties with those of the enzymatic readout. [00143] Test compounds can be assayed in a highly parallel fashion using multiwell plates by placing the compounds either individually in wells or testing them in mixtures. Assay components including the target protein complex, coupling enzymes and substrates, and ATP can then be added to the wells and the absorbance or fluorescence of each well of the plate can be measured with a plate reader.
[00144] A method uses a 384 well plate format and a 25 μL reaction volume. A pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase coupled enzyme system (Huang TG and Hackney DD. (1994) J Biol Chem 269(23): 16493-16501) is used to measure the rate of ATP hydrolysis in each well. As will be appreciated by those in the art, the assay components are added in buffers and reagents. Since the methods outlined herein allow kinetic measurements, incubation periods are optimized to give adequate detection signals over the background. The assay is done in real time giving the kinetics of ATP hydrolysis, which increases the signal to noise ratio of the assay.
[00145] Modulation of cardiac muscle fiber ATPase and/or contractile force can also be measured using detergent permeabilized cardiac fibers (also referred to as skinned cardiac fibers) or myofibrils (subcellular muscle fragments), for example, as described by Haikala H, et al (1995) J Cardiovasc Pharmacol 25(5):794-801. Skinned cardiac fibers retain their intrinsic sarcomeric organization, but do not retain all aspects of cellular calcium cycling, this model offers two advantages: first, the cellular membrane is not a barrier to compound penetration, and second, calcium concentration is controlled. Therefore, any increase in ATPase or contractile force is a direct measure of the test compound's effect on sarcomeric proteins. ATPase measurements are made using methods as described above. Tension measurements are made by mounting one end of the muscle fiber to a stationary post and the other end to a transducer that can measure force. After stretching the fiber to remove slack, the force transducer records increased tension as the fiber begins to contract. This measurement is called the isometric tension, since the fiber is not allowed to shorten. Activation of the permeabilized muscle fiber is accomplished by placing it in a buffered calcium solution, followed by addition of test compound or control. When tested in this manner, chemical entities described herein caused an increase in force at calcium concentrations associated with physiologic contractile activity, but very little augmentation of force in relaxing buffer at low calcium concentrations or in the absence of calcium (the EGTA data point).
[00146] Selectivity for the cardiac sarcomere and cardiac myosin can be determined by substituting non-cardiac sarcomere components and myosin in one or more of the above- described assays and comparing the results obtained against those obtained using the cardiac equivalents.
[00147] A chemical entity's ability to increase observed ATPase rate in an in vitro reconstituted sarcomere assay or myofibril could result from the increased turnover rate of Sl -myosin or, alternatively, increased sensitivity of a decorated actin filament to Ca - activation. To distinguish between these two possible modes of action, the effect of the chemical entity on ATPase activity of Sl with undecorated actin filaments is initially measured. If an increase of activity is observed, the chemical entity's effect on the Ca- responsive regulatory apparatus could be disproved. A second, more sensitive assay, can be employed to identify chemical entities whose activating effect on Sl -myosin is enhanced in the presence of a decorated actin (compared to pure actin filaments). In this second assay activities of cardiac-Si and skeletal-Si on cardiac and skeletal regulated actin filaments (in all 4 permutations) are compared.
[00148] Initial evaluation of in vivo activity can be determined in cellular models of myocyte contractility, e.g., as described by Popping S, et al ((1996) Am. J. Physiol. 271: H357-H364) and Wolska BM, et al ((1996) Am. J. Physiol. 39:H24-H32). One advantage of the myocyte model is that the component systems that result in changes in contractility can be isolated and the major site(s) of action determined. Chemical entities with cellular activity (for example, selecting chemical entities having the following profile: > 120% increase in fractional shortening over basal at 2 μM, or result in changes in diastolic length (< 5% change)) can then be assessed in whole organ models, such as such as the Isolated Heart (Langendorff) model of cardiac function, in vivo using echocardiography or invasive hemodynamic measures, and in animal-based heart failure models, such as the Rat Left Coronary Artery Occlusion model. Ultimately, activity for treating heart disease is demonstrated in blinded, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials.
[00149] The chemical entities described herein are administered at a therapeutically effective dosage, e.g., a dosage sufficient to provide treatment for the disease states previously described. While human dosage levels have yet to be optimized for the chemical entities described herein, generally, a daily dose is from about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg of body weight; in certain embodiments, about 0.10 to 10.0 mg/kg of body weight, and in certain embodiments, about 0.15 to 1.0 mg/kg of body weight. Thus, for administration to a 70 kg person, in certain embodiments, the dosage range would be about 3.5 to 7000 mg per day; in certain embodiments, about 7.0 to 700.0 mg per day, and in certain embodiments, about 10.0 to 100.0 mg per day. The amount of chemical entity administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject and disease state being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner and schedule of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician; for example, a likely dose range for oral administration would be about 70 to 700 mg per day, whereas for intravenous administration a likely dose range would be about 70 to 700 mg per day depending on compound pharmacokinetics.
[00150] Administration of the chemical entities described herein can be via any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities including, but not limited to, orally, sublingualis subcutaneously, intravenously, intranasally, topically, transdermally, intraperitoneally, intramuscularly, intrapulmonarilly, vaginally, rectally, or intraocularly. Oral and parenteral administration are customary in treating the indications that are the subject of the present invention.

If desired, the pharmaceutical composition can also contain minor amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents, solubilizing agents, pH buffering agents and the like (e.g., sodium acetate, sodium citrate, cyclodextrine derivatives, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine acetate, triethanolamine oleate, and the like). Generally, depending on the intended mode of administration, the pharmaceutical composition will contain about 0.005% to 95%; in certain embodiments, about 0.5% to 50% by weight of a chemical entity. Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pennsylvania.
[00153] hi addition, the chemical entities described herein can be co-administered with, and the pharmaceutical compositions can include, other medicinal agents, pharmaceutical agents, adjuvants, and the like. Suitable additional active agents include, for example: therapies that retard the progression of heart failure by down-regulating neurohormonal stimulation of the heart and attempt to prevent cardiac remodeling (e.g., ACE inhibitors or β-blockers); therapies that improve cardiac function by stimulating cardiac contractility (e.g., positive inotropic agents, such as the β-adrenergic agonist dobutamine or the phosphodiesterase inhibitor milrinone); and therapies that reduce cardiac preload (e.g., diuretics, such as furosemide). Other suitable additional active agents include vasodilators, digitoxin, anticoagulants, mineralocorticoid antagonists, angiotensin receptor blockers, nitroglycerin, other inotropes, and any other therapy used in the treatment of heart failure. [00154] In certain embodiments, the compositions will take the form of a pill or tablet and thus the composition will contain, along with the active ingredient, a diluent such as lactose, sucrose, dicalcium phosphate, or the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or the like; and a binder such as starch, gum acacia, polyvinylpyrrolidine, gelatin, cellulose, cellulose derivatives or the like, hi another solid dosage form, a powder, marume, solution or suspension (e.g., in propylene carbonate, vegetable oils or triglycerides) is encapsulated in a gelatin capsule.
[00155] Liquid pharmaceutically administrable compositions can, for example, be prepared by dissolving, dispersing, etc. at least one chemical entity and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in a carrier (e.g., water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, glycols, ethanol or the like) to form a solution or suspension. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms, either as liquid solutions or suspensions, as emulsions, or in solid forms suitable for dissolution or suspension in liquid prior to injection. The percentage of chemical entities contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on the specific nature thereof, as well as the activity of the chemical entities and the needs of the subject. However, percentages of active ingredient of 0.01% to 10% in solution are employable, and will be higher if the composition is a solid which will be subsequently diluted to the above percentages, hi certain embodiments, the composition will comprise 0.2-2% of the active agent in solution.

Alternatively, the chemical entities described herein can be bound to the support and the myosin added. Classes of compounds among which novel binding agents may be sought include specific antibodies, non-natural binding agents identified in screens of chemical libraries, peptide analogs, etc. Of particular interest are screening assays for candidate agents that have a low toxicity for human cells. A wide variety of assays may be used for this purpose, including labeled in vitro protein-protein binding assays, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, immunoassays for protein binding, functional assays (phosphorylation assays, etc.) and the like.

In vitro Models of Dose Dependent Cardiac Myosin ATPase Modulation [00205] Reconstituted Cardiac Sarcomere Assay: Dose responses are measured using a calcium-buffered, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase-coupled ATPase assay containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final assay concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl2 (2 mM), ATP (1 mM), DTT (1 mM), BSA (0.1 mg/ml), NADH (0.5 mM), PEP (1.5 mM), pyruvate kinase (4 U/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (8 U/ml), and ANTIFOAM (90 ppm). The pH is adjusted to 6.80 at 220C by addition of potassium hydroxide. Calcium levels are controlled by a buffering system containing 0.6 mM EGTA and varying concentrations of calcium, to achieve a free calcium concentration of 1x10" M to IxIO"8 M.
[00206] The protein components specific to this assay are bovine cardiac myosin subfragment-1 (typically 0.5 μM), bovine cardiac actin (14 μM), bovine cardiac tropomyosin (typically 3 μM), and bovine cardiac troponin (typically 3-8 μM). The exact concentrations of tropomyosin and troponin are determined empirically, by titration to achieve maximal difference in ATPase activity when MEASURED in the presence of 2 mM EGTA versus that measured in the presence of 0.1 mM CaCl2. The exact concentration of myosin in the assay is also determined empirically, by titration to achieve a desired rate of ATP hydrolysis. This varies between protein preparations, due to variations in the fraction of active molecules in each preparation.
[00207] Dose responses are typically measured at the calcium concentration corresponding to 25% or 50% of maximal ATPase activity (pCa25 or pCaso), so a preliminary experiment is performed to test the response of the ATPase activity to free calcium
4 R concentrations in the range of 1x10" M to 1x10" M. Subsequently, the assay mixture is adjusted to the pCaso (typically 3x10" M). Assays are performed by first preparing a dilution series of test compound, each with an assay mixture containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myosin subfragment-1, antifoam, EGTA, CaCl2, and water. The assay is started by adding an equal volume of solution containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, ATP, NADH, PEP, actin, tropomyosin, troponin, antifoam, and water. ATP hydrolysis is monitored by absorbance at 340 urn. The resulting dose response curve is fit by the 4 parameter equation y = Bottom + ((Top- Bottom)/(l+((EC50/X)AHill))). The ACl.4 is defined as the concentration at which ATPase activity is 1.4-fold higher than the bottom of the dose curve.
[00208] Cardiac Myofibril Assay: To evaluate the effect of chemical entities on the
ATPase activity of full-length cardiac myosin in the context of native sarcomere, skinned myofibril assays are performed. Cardiac myofibrils are obtained by homogenizing cardiac tissue in the presence of a non-ionic detergent. Such treatment removes membranes and majority of soluble cytoplasmic proteins but leaves intact cardiac sarcomeric acto-myosin apparatus. Myofibril preparations retain the ability to hydrolyze ATP in a Ca+^ controlled manner. ATPase activities of such myofibril preparations in the presence and absence of chemical ENTITIES are assayed at Ca++ concentrations across the entire calcium response range but with preferred calcium concentrations giving, 25%, 50% and 100% of a maximal rate.
[00209] Myofibrils can be prepared from either fresh or flash frozen tissue that has been rapidly thawed. Tissue is minced finely and resuspended in a relaxing buffer containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final solution concentrations): Tris-HCl (10 mM), MgCl2 (2 mM), KCl (75 mM), EGTA (2 mM), NaN3 (1 mM), ATP (1 mM), phosphocreatine (4 mM), BDM (50 mM), DTT (1 mM), benzamidine (1 mM), PMSF (0.1 mM), leupeptin (1 ug/ml), pepstatin (1 ug/ml), and triton X-100 (1%). The pH is adjusted to 7.2 at 4°C by addition of HCl. After addition of EDTA to 10 mM, the tissue is minced by hand at 4°C, in a cold room and homogenized using a large rotor-stator homogenizer (Omni Mixer). After blending for 10s, the material is pelleted by centrifugation (5 minutes, 200Ox g max, 4°C). The myofibrils are then resuspended in a Standard Buffer containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final solution concentrations): Tris-HCl (10 niM) pH 7.2 at 4°C, MgCl2 (2 mM), KCl (75 mM), EGTA (2 niM), NaN3 (1 mM), Triton X- 100 (1%), using a glass-glass tissue grinder (Kontes) until smooth, usually 4-5 strokes. The myofibril pellets are washed several times by brief homo genization, using the rotor-stator homogenizer in 10 volumes of standard buffer, followed by centrifugation. To remove detergent, the myofibrils are washed several more times with standard buffer lacking Triton X-IOO. The myofibrils are then subjected to three rounds of gravity filtration using 600, 300, and finally 100 μm nylon mesh (Spectrum Lab Products) to generate homogenous mixtures and pelleted down. Finally, the myofibrils are resuspended in a storage buffer containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final solution concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl2 (2 mM), and DTT (1 mM). Solid sucrose is added while stirring to 10% (w/v) before drop-freezing in liquid nitrogen and storage at -8O0C. [00210] Dose responses are measured using a calcium-buffered, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase-coupled ATPase assay containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final assay concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl2 (2 mM), ATP (0.05 mM), DTT (1 mM), BSA (0.1 mg/ml), NADH (0.5 mM), PEP (1.5 mM), pyruvate kinase (4 U/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (8 U/ml), and antifoam (90 ppm). The pH is adjusted to 6.80 at 22°C by addition OF potassium hydroxide. Calcium levels are controlled by a buffering system containing 0.6 mM EGTA and varying concentrations of calcium, to achieve a free calcium concentration of IxIO"4 M to IxIO"8 M. The myofibril concentration in the final assay is typically 0.2 to 1 mg/ml.
[00211] Dose responses are typically measured at the calcium concentration corresponding to 25%, 50%, or 100% of maximal ATPase activity (pCa25, pCa5o, pCa100), so a preliminary experiment is performed to test the response of the ATPase activity to free calcium concentrations in the range of IxIO"4 M to IxIO"8 M. Subsequently, the assay mixture is adjusted to the pCaso (typically 3xlO"7 M). Assays are performed by first preparing a dilution series of test compound, each with an assay mixture containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cardiac myofibrils, antifoam, EGTA, CaCl2, and water. The assay is started by adding AN equal volume of solution containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, ATP, NADH, PEP, antifoam, and water. ATP hydrolysis is monitored by absorbance at 340 nm. The resulting dose response curve is fit by the 4 parameter equation y = Bottom + ((Toρ-Bottom)/(l+((EC50/X)AHill))). The ACl .4 is defined as the concentration at which ATPase activity is 1.4-fold higher than the bottom of the dose curve.
Example 12 Myocyte Assays
[00212] PREPARATION OF ADULT CARDIAC VENTRICULAR RAT MYOCYTES. Adult male
Sprague-Dawley rats are anesthetized with a mixture of isoflurane gas and oxygen. Hearts are quickly excised, rinsed and the ascending aorta cannulated. Continuous retrograde perfusion is initiated on the hearts at a perfusion pressure of 60 cm H2O. Hearts are first perfused with a nominally Ca free modified Krebs solution of the following composition: 110 mM NaCl, 2.6 mM KCL, 1.2 mM KH2PO4 7H20, 1.2 mM MgSO4, 2.1 mM NaHCO3, 11 mM glucose and 4 mM Hepes (all Sigma). This medium is not recirculated and is continually gassed with O2. After approximately 3 minutes the heart is perfused with modified Krebs buffer supplemented with 3.3% collagenase (169 μ/mg activity, Class π, Worthington Biochemical Corp., Freehold, NJ) and 25 μM final calcium concentration until the heart becomes sufficiently blanched and soft. The heart is removed from the cannulae, the atria and vessels discarded and the ventricles are cut into small pieces. The myocytes are dispersed by gentle agitation of the ventricular tissue in fresh collagenase containing Krebs prior to being gently forced through a 200 μm nylon mesh in a 50 cc tube. The resulting myocytes are resuspended in modified Krebs solution containing 25 μm calcium. Myocytes are made calcium tolerant by addition of a calcium solution (100 mM stock) at 10 minute intervals until 100 μM calcium is achieved. After 30 minutes the supernatant is discarded and 30 - 50 ml of Tyrode buffer (137 mM NaCL, 3.7 mM KCL, 0.5 mM MgCL, 11 mM glucose, 4 mM Hepes, and 1.2 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4) is added to cells. Cells are kept for 60 min at 37°C prior to initiating experiments and used within 5 hrs of isolation. Preparations of cells are used only if cells first passed QC criteria by responding to a standard (>150% of basal) and isoproterenol (ISO; > 250% of basal). Additionally, only cells whose basal contractility is between 3 and 8 % are used in the following experiments.
[00213] ADULT VENTRICULAR MYOCYTE CONTRACTILITY EXPERIMENTS. Aliquots of
Tyrode buffer containing myocytes are placed in perfusion chambers (series 20 RC-27NE; Warner Instruments) complete with heating platforms. Myocytes are allowed to attach, the chambers heated to 37°C, and the cells then perfused with 37°C Tyrode buffer. Myocytes are field stimulated at 1 Hz in with platinum electrodes (20% above threshold). Only cells that have clear striations, and are quiescent prior to pacing are used for contractility experiments. To determine basal contractility, myocytes are imaged through a 4Ox objective and using a variable frame rate (60-240 Hz) charge-coupled device camera, the images are digitized and displayed on a computer screen at a sampling speed of 240 Hz. [Frame grabber, myopacer, acquisition, and analysis software for cell contractility are available from IonOptix (Milton, MA).] After a minimum 5 minute basal contractility period, test compounds (0.01 - 15 μM) are perfused on the myocytes for 5 minutes. After this time, fresh Tyrode buffer is perfused to determine compound washout characteristics. Using edge detection strategy, contractility of the myocytes and contraction and relaxation velocities are continuously recorded. [00214] CONTRACTILITY ANALYSIS : Three or more individual myocytes are tested per chemical entity, using two or more different myocyte preparations. For each cell, twenty or more contractility transients at basal (defined as 1 min prior to infusion of the chemical entity) and after addition of the chemical entity, are averaged and compared. These average transients are analyzed to determine changes in diastolic length, and using the Ionwizard analysis program (IonOptix), fractional shortening (% decrease in the diastolic length), and maximum contraction and relaxation velocities (urn/sec) are determined. Analysis of individual cells are combined. Increase in fractional shortening over basal indicates potentiation of myocyte contractility.
[00215] CALCIUM TRANSIENT ANALYSIS: Fura loading: Cell permeable Fura-2
(Molecular Probes) is dissolved in equal amounts of pluronic (MoI Probes) and FBS for 10 min at RT. A 1 μM Fura stock solution is made in Tyrode buffer containing 500 mM probenecid (Sigma). To load cells, this solution is added to myocytes at RT. After 10 min. the buffer is removed, the cells washed with Tyrode containing probenecid and incubated at RT for 10 min. This wash and incubation is repeated. Simultaneous contractility and calcium measurements are determined within 40 min. of loading.
[00216] Imaging: A test compound is perfused on cells. Simultaneous contractility and calcium transient ratios are determined at baseline and after addition of the compound. Cells are digitally imaged and contractility determined as described above, using that a red filter in the light path to avoid interference with fluorescent calcium measurements. Acquisition, analysis software and hardware for calcium transient analysis are obtained from IonOptix. The instrumentation for fluorescence measurement includes a xenon arc lamp and a Hyperswitch dual excitation light source that alternates between 340 and 380 wavelengths at 100 Hz by a galvo-driven mirror. A liquid filled light guide delivers the dual excitation light to the microscope and the emission fluorescence is determined using a photomultiplier tube (PMT). The fluorescence system interface routes the PMT signal and the ratios are recorded using the IonWizard acquisition program.
[00217] Analysis: For each cell, ten or more contractility and calcium ratio transients at basal and after compound addition, where averaged and compared. Contractility average transients are analyzed using the Ionwizard analysis program to determine changes in diastolic length, and fractional shortening (% decrease in the diastolic length). The averaged calcium ratio transients are analyzed using the Ionwizard analysis program to determine changes in diastolic and systolic ratios and the 75% time to baseline (T75). [00218] DURABILITY: To determine the durability of response, myocytes are challenged with a test compound for 25 minutes followed by a 2 min. washout period. Contractility response is compared at 5 and 25 min. following compound infusion. [00219] THRESHOLD POTENTIAL: Myocytes are field stimulated at a voltage approximately 20% above threshold. In these experiments the threshold voltage (minimum voltage to pace cell) is empirically determined, the cell paced at that threshold and then the test compound is infused. After the activity is at steady state, the voltage is decreased for 20 seconds and then restarted. Alteration of ion channels corresponds to increasing or lowering the threshold action potential.
[00220] Hz FREQUENCY: Contractility of myocytes is determined at 3 Hz as follows: a
1 min. basal time point followed by perfusion of the test compound for 5 min. followed by a 2 min. washout. After the cell contractility has returned completely to baseline the Hz frequency is decreased to 1. After an initial acclimation period the cell is challenged by the same compound. As this species, rat, exhibits a negative force frequency at 1 Hz, at 3 Hz the FS of the cell should be lower, but the cell should still respond by increasing its fractional shortening in the presence of the compound.
[00221] ADDITIVE WITH ISOPROTERENOL: TO demonstrate that a compound act via a different mechanism than the adrenergic stimulant isoproterenol, cells are loaded with fura-2 and simultaneous measurement of contractility and calcium ratios are determined. The myocytes are sequentially challenged with 5 μm or less of a test compound, buffer, 2 nM isoproterenol, buffer, and a combination of a test compound and isoproterenol.
Example 13 In vitro Model of Dose Dependent Cardiac Myosin ATPase Modulation
[00222] Bovine and rat cardiac myosins are purified from the respective cardiac tissues. Skeletal and smooth muscle myosins used in the specificity studies are purified from rabbit skeletal muscle and chicken gizzards, respectively. All myosins used in the assays are converted to a single-headed soluble form (Sl) by a limited proteolysis with chymotrypsin. Other sarcomeric components: troponin complex, tropomyosin and actin are purified from bovine hearts (cardiac sarcomere) or chicken pectoral muscle (skeletal sarcomere). [00223] Activity of myosins is monitored by measuring the rates of hydrolysis of ATP.
Myosin ATPase is very significantly activated by actin filaments. ATP turnover is detected in a coupled enzymatic assay using pyruvate kinase (PK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In this assay each ADP produced as a result of ATP hydrolysis is recycled to ATP by PK with a simultaneous oxidation of NADH molecule by LDH. NADH oxidation can be conveniently monitored by decrease in absorbance at 340nm wavelength.
[00224] Dose responses are measured using a calcium-buffered, pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase-coupled ATPase assay containing the following reagents (concentrations expressed are final assay concentrations): Potassium PIPES (12 mM), MgCl2 (2 mM), ATP (1 mM), DTT (1 mM), BSA (0.1 mg/ml), NADH (0.5 mM), PEP (1.5 mM), pyruvate kinase (4 U/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (8 U/ml), and antifoam (90 ppm). The pH is adjusted to 6.80 at 22°C by addition of potassium hydroxide. Calcium levels are controlled by a buffering system containing 0.6 mM EGTA and varying concentrations of calcium, to achieve a free calcium concentration of 1x10" M to 1x10" M.
[00225] The protein components specific to this assay are bovine cardiac myosin subfragment-1 (typically 0.5 μM), bovine cardiac actin (14 μM), bovine cardiac tropomyosin (typically 3 μM), and bovine cardiac troponin (typically 3-8 μM). The exact concentrations of tropomyosin and troponin are determined empirically, by titration to achieve maximal difference in ATPase activity when measured in the presence of 1 mM EGTA versus that measured in the presence of 0.2 mM CaCl2. The exact concentration of myosin in the assay is also determined empirically, by titration to achieve a desired rate of ATP hydrolysis. This varies between protein preparations, due to variations in the fraction of active molecules in each preparation.
[00226] Compound dose responses are typically measured at the calcium concentration corresponding to 50% of maximal ATPase activity (pCa50), so a preliminary experiment is performed to test the response of the ATPase activity to free calcium concentrations in the range of IxIO"4 M to IxIO"8 M. Subsequently, the assay mixture is adjusted to the pCaso (typically 3xlO~7 M). Assays are performed by first preparing a dilution series of test compound, each with an assay mixture containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, myosin subfragment-1, antifoam, EGTA, CaCl2, and water. The assay is started by adding an equal volume of solution containing potassium Pipes, MgCl2, BSA, DTT, ATP, NADH, PEP, actin, tropomyosin, troponin, antifoam, and water. ATP hydrolysis is monitored by absorbance at 340 nm. The resulting dose response curve is fit by the 4 parameter equation y = Bottom + ((Top-Bottom)/(l+((EC50/X)AHill))). The AC 1.4 is defined as the concentration at which ATPase activity is 1.4-fold higher than the bottom of the dose curve.
[00227] Ability of a compound to activate cardiac myosin is evaluated by the effect of the compound on the actin stimulated ATPase of Sl subfragment. Actin filaments in the assay are decorated with troponin and tropomyosin and Ca++ concentration is adjusted to a value that would result in 50% of maximal activation. Sl ATPase is measured in the presence of a dilution series of the compound. Compound concentration required for 40% activation above the ATPase rate measured in the presence of control (equivalent volume of DMSO) is reported as AC40.
Example 14
In vivo Fractional Shortening Assay
[00228] ANIMALS Male Sprague Dawley rats from Charles River
Laboratories (275 - 350 g) are used for bolus efficacy and infusion studies. Heart failure animals are described below. They are housed two per cage and have access to food and water ad libitum. There is a minimum three-day acclimation period prior to experiments. [00229] ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY Animals are anesthetized with isoflurane and maintained within a surgical plane throughout the procedure. Core body temperature is maintained at 370C by using a heating pad. Once anesthetized, animals are shaven and hair remover is applied to remove all traces of fur from the chest area. The chest area is further prepped with 70% ETOH and ultrasound gel is applied. Using a GE System Vingmed ultrasound system (General Electric Medical Systems), a 10 MHz probe is placed on the chest wall and images are acquired in the short axis view at the level of the papillary muscles. 2-D M-mode images of the left ventricle are taken prior to, and after, compound bolus injection or infusion. In vivo fractional shortening ((end diastolic diameter - end systolic diameter)/ end diastolic diameter x 100) is determined by analysis of the M-mode images using the GE EchoPak software program.
[00230] BOLUS AND INFUSION EFFICACY For bolus and infusion protocols, fractional shortening is determined using echocardiography as described above. For bolus and infusion protocols, five pre-dose M-Mode images are taken at 30 second intervals prior to bolus injection or infusion of compounds. After injection, M-mode images are taken at 1 min and at five minute intervals thereafter up to 30 min. Bolus injection (0.5-5 mg/kg) or infusion is via a tail vein catheter. Infusion parameters are determined from pharmacokinetic profiles of the compounds. For infusion, animals received a 1 minute loading dose immediately followed by a 29 minute infusion dose via a tail vein catheter. The loading dose is calculated by determining the target concentration x the steady state volume of distribution. The maintenance dose concentration is determined by taking the target concentration x the clearance. Compounds are formulated in 25% cavitron vehicle for bolus and infusion protocols. Blood samples are taken to determine the plasma concentration of the compounds.
Example 15
Hemodynamics in normal and heart failure animals
[00231] Animals are anesthetized with isoflurane, maintained within a surgical plane, and then shaven in preparation for catheterization. An incision is made in the neck region and the right carotid artery cleared and isolated. A 2 French Millar Micro-tip Pressure Catheter (Millar Instruments, Houston, TX) is cannulated into the right carotid artery and threaded past the aorta and into the left ventricle. End diastolic pressure readings, max + / - dp/dt, systolic pressures and heart rate are determined continuously while compound or vehicle is infused. Measurements are recorded and analyzed using a PowerLab and the Chart 4 software program (ADInstruments, Mountain View, CA). Hemodynamics measurements are performed at a select infusion concentration. Blood samples are taken to determine the plasma concentration of the compounds.
Example 16
Left Coronary Artery Occlusion Model of Congestive Heart Failure
[00232] ANIMALS Male Sprague-Dawley CD (220-225 g; Charles River) rats are used in this experiment. Animals are allowed free access to water and commercial rodent diet under standard laboratory conditions. Room temperature is maintained at 20- 23°C and room illumination is on a 12/12-hour light/dark cycle. Animals are acclimatized to the laboratory environment 5 to 7 days prior to the study. The animals are fasted overnight prior to surgery.
[00233] OCCLUSION PROCEDURE Animals are anaesthetized with ketamine/xylazine (95 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) and intubated with a 14-16-gauge modified intravenous catheter. Anesthesia level is checked by toe pinch. Core body temperature is maintained at 370C by using a heating blanket. The surgical area is clipped and scrubbed. The animal is placed in right lateral recumbency and initially placed on a ventilator with a peak inspiratory pressure of 10- 15 cm H2O and respiratory rate 60-110 breaths/min. 100% O2 is delivered to the animals by the ventilator. The surgical site is scrubbed with surgical scrub and alcohol. An incision is made over the rib cage at the 4th-5th intercostal space. The underlying muscles are dissected with care to avoid the lateral thoracic vein, to expose the intercostal muscles. The chest cavity is entered through 4th-5th intercostal space, and the incision expanded to allow visualization of the heart. The pericardium is opened to expose the heart. A 6-0 silk suture with a taper needle is passed around the left coronary artery near its origin, which lies in contact with the left margin of the pulmonary cone, at about 1 mm from the insertion of the left auricular appendage. The left coronary artery is ligated by tying the suture around the artery ("LCL"). Sham animals are treated the same, except that the suture is not tied. The incision is closed in three layers. The rat is ventilated until able to ventilate on its own. The rats are extubated and allowed to recover on a heating pad. Animals receive buprenorphine (0.01-0.05 mg/kg SQ) for post operative analgesia. Once awake, they are returned to their cage. Animals are monitored daily for signs of infection or distress. Infected or moribund animals are euthanized. Animals are weighed once a week. [00234] EFFICACY ANALYSIS Approximately eight weeks after infarction surgery, rats are scanned for signs of myocardial infarction using echocardiography. Only those animals with decreased fractional shortening compared to sham rats are utilized further in efficacy experiments. In all experiments, there are four groups, sham + vehicle, sham + compound, LCL + vehicle and LCL + compound. At 10 -12 weeks post LCL, rats are infused at a select infusion concentration. As before, five pre-dose M-Mode images are taken at 30 second intervals prior to infusion of compounds and M-mode images are taken at 30 second intervals up to 10 minutes and every minute or at five minute intervals thereafter. Fractional shortening is determined from the M-mode images. Comparisons between the pre-dose fractional shortening and compound treatment are performed by ANOVA and a post-hoc Student - Newman - Keuls. Animals are allowed to recover and within 7-10 days, animals are again infused with compounds using the hemodynamic protocol to determine hemodynamic changes of the compounds in heart failure animals. At the end to the infusion, rats are killed and the heart weights determined.

Example 17
Cardiac Contractility in vitro and in vivo in a Rat Model of Heart Failure
[00237] A myofibril assay is used to identify compounds (myosin activators) that directly activate the cardiac myosin ATPase. The cellular mechanism of action, in vivo cardiac function in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats, and efficacy in SD rats with defined heart failure to active compound is then determined. Cellular contractility was quantified using an edge detection strategy and calcium transient measured using fura-2 loaded adult rat cardiac myocytes. Cellular contractility increased over baseline within 5 minutes of exposure to an active compound (0.2 DM) without altering the calcium transient. Combination of active compound with isoproterenol (D -adrenergic agonist) should result only in an additive increase in contractility with no further change in the calcium transient demonstrating the active compound was not inhibiting the PDE pathway. In vivo contractile function in anesthetized SD rats is quantified using echocardiography (M-mode) and simultaneous pressure measurements. SD rats are infused with vehicle or active compound at 0.25 - 2.5 mg/kg/hr. The active compound should increase fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) in a dose-dependent manner with no significant change in peripheral blood pressures or heart rate except at the highest dose. Rats with defined heart failure induced by left coronary ligation, or sham treated rats may have similar and significant increases in FS and EF when treated with 0.7 - 1.2 mg/kg/hr active compound. In summary, the active compound increased cardiac contractility without increasing the calcium transient and was efficacious in a rat model of heart failure, indicating the active compound may be a useful therapeutic in the treatment of human heart failure.
Example 18 Pharmacology
[00238] The pharmacology of at least one chemical entity described herein is investigated in isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes, anesthetized rats, and in a chronically instrumented canine model of heart failure induced by myocardial infarction combined with rapid ventricular pacing. The active compound increases cardiac myocyte contractility (EC20 = 0.2 M) but does not increase the magnitude or change the kinetics of the calcium transient at concentrations up to 10 M in Fura-2 loaded myocytes. The active compound (30 M) does not inhibit phosphodiesterase type 3.
[00239] In anesthetized rats, the active compound increases echocardiographic fractional shortening from 45 5.1% to 56 4.6% after a 30 minute infusion at 1.5 mg/kg/hr (n=6, p < 0.01).
[00240] hi conscious dogs with heart failure, the active compound (0.5 mg/kg bolus, then 0.5 mg/kg/hr i.v. for 6-8 hours) increases fractional shortening by 74 7%, cardiac output by 45 9%, and stroke volume by 101 19%. Heart rate decreases by 27 4% and left atrial pressure falls from 22 2 mmHg to 10 2 mmHg (p < 0.05 for all). In addition, neither mean arterial pressure nor coronary blood flow changes significantly. Diastolic function is not impaired at this dose. There are. no significant changes in a vehicle treated group. The active compound improved cardiac function in a manner that suggests that compounds of this class may be beneficial in patients with heart failure.
Example 19

The citric acid (10.51 g) is weighed, added to the compounding vessel and stirred to produce 1 M citric acid. The active agent (1.00 g) is weighed and dissolved in the 1 M citric acid solution. The resulting solution is transferred to a larger suitable compounding vessel and WFT is added to approximately 85% of the bulk solution volume. The pH of the bulk solution is measured and adjusted to 5.0 with 1 N NaOH. The solution is brought to its final volume (1 liter) with WFI.
